Following below is a link to a 2008 article by John MacArthur God’s Word on Homosexuality. How does God see homosexuality?

Yet Isaiah 56 and 1 Corinthians 6 make plain God’s plan for homosexuals to find freedom and forgiveness through a life-changing faith in Jesus Christ. The door is wide open for homosexuals and lesbians to accept God’s invitation…keep reading
